Ok, but you start out with saying:

What makes you think he was ever all that smart?

I sure as hell think he is smart, but he probably also had a bit of luck. I think all successful business leaders have a bit of both. They haven't shown innovation in their products, but definitely in their channel selection and logistics.

I was in a book store the other day, and I look at all the books, and I get pretty much the same feeling:
"ooohhh....so many books that need to be read."
But is isn't anxiety, it is more futility and despair...

Reminded me of this comic strip from Berke Breathed: http://www.northstarnerd.org/.a/6a00d8341c5fd253ef0120a5e93468970b-450wi

and usually medical databases are quite thoroughly tied down in this respect.

I don't know much about this case, but in Sweden we have a national test for all newborns, where they collect blood to check for a few diseases (PKU, the google is your friend). When they have checked it, they store the information "for research purposes".

When our minister of foreign affairs was killed, the Police requested samples from the database and got them.

So, don't count on the database staying "for research purposes"...
